yeah, i switched it to night mode instead of auto just to check. everything seems to be working. my unit is brand new...well about a week old if that makes any difference or not.

Shouldn't make any difference... At least it is working so all is good...

how this this look? any pics? sorry for the request, i dont have this unit yet. its shipping. otherwise, i would try it and post pictures myself.

Screen colors are different... Check out http://www.i-go8.com they have original schemes and screenies posted there...

oh right, I remember, i thought these were color schemes like for the buttons and such (contacts, destination, setup) since they were all white text instead of the matching colors i wanted.

so these are for the igo map colors and routes.

gotcha thanks.

Thanks for al the work!

I like chaning mapcolors very frequently. Is there an easy way to it myself?

I know i can download them from www.igo-8.com but how do i change them to the right resolution for the Avic (800 * 480)?

Thanks in advance.

Color schemes are completely resolution independent. The only thing you need to do to get most schemes working is to scan the color.ini and colr3d.ini (if any) files in the scheme archive and replace any references to ui_igo8 with either ui_pioneer or $skin$

Some schemes are making references to files that are not present in our skin, but I think I've posted all I have encountered so far in this thread...

Thanks boris, for you extra explenation.

I will try it myself this weekend.

Have fun!

Hey Boris...i need your help buddy! Everything seemed to be working fine then I went to try another color, and I got the same problem they were having before, where it kicked me out of nav settings, and now my system just continually reboots itself. I reset the unit, deleted the map files, put the original data.zip back in, still just keeps rebotting...i'm getting kinda nervous after the reset didn't work. Any ideas?

If it blows up after changing to a particular color scheme, you just need to delete that particular scheme off of the unit. Try to remember what the error message was, then the scheme can be fixed.

I deleted all the schemes and it still doesn't boot normally. I can boot into leetlauncher but when i try to go to pioneer...same thing!

ok, i went back out to the car on my way home from work and before I left, I deleted all of the schemes from the iGo8 in LeetLauncher, and that seemed to help. it booted normally for me and all is well again. Thanks Boris.

You're welcome.

FWIW I have all the schemes that I have posted here working, so it is all doable...

OK I asked this in another thread but maybe I should have asked this here. Does anybody have any tips or directions for or guidance or maybe a tutorial on messing around with the color.ini and color3d.ini files.

I'd like to create my own color scheme other than the ones I have already downloaded from the thread. Just not sure what I am looking at when reading these files.

Specifically how to change each color such as the general terrain to a color other than the gray that all of the day maps seem so fond of. Thanx everyone for all the contributions.

Look at one of the originaql Pioneer schemes... They are as commented as anything out there. For those words that aren't, I think Google might be able to translate from Hungarian

Anyone wanna make a Navigon-like scheme? I really like the gray on gray look they have.... anyone?

Added Real View V6 schemes. Download from first post.

Boris - I added the Real View v6 schemes and the other schemes, and they all show up on the settings list for day and night - but I can select any scheme and they all look the same on mapview? - can you help?

I think all of Real View ones look pretty similar, author is just tweaking them a bit and adding things we can not activate in AVIC yet -- sun and sky display, multiple routes on screen, etc...

Every scheme I pull up for daytime, the background map is white, top bar is lt green and you can barely see the road lines?...Even when selecting the factory blue or red scheme, they all look this way. Am I missing a file?

Hmmm... that's strange. They should look more different than that. Since schemes are self-sufficient, I doubt that anything is missing...

Do all roads look the same color?

I have a Pontiac Grand Prix and all of my interior lighting is red. When I downloaded these themes I came across Monopoly Nite and love the setup, but all of the roads are blue. Can anyone help me in figuring out what vales must be changed in the file to maintain black ground but change all of the road colors to red? Thanks in advance for any help.

monopoly_night.zip

just to make sure i understand how to add all these schemes, when i download the scheme.rar file and open it, i have the file named sceme but inside it is all the zip files. can i copy the scheme file as a whole with all the zip files inside it or do i need to copy and paste each of the 50 or so zip files?

Do all roads look the same color?

Yes, in the Daytime view all the roads look the same color, its like the theme never changes no matter which scheme is selected. Suggestions?
